The forms in the poetic texts varied between the activation and the two halves, and rose to the level of connotation and suggestion in an artistic style through which poets expressed the value of the homeland and the importance of its love.
And the poet Dr. Yassin Faour, in his patriotic texts, which he delivered, showed the value of struggle and martyrdom, in which he adopted the poetry of the activator, while the poet Muhammad Saeed Al-Ateeq participated in texts that mixed between love of the homeland and human and social values in a symbolic style, while the poems of the poet Suleiman Al-Salman were limited to the resistance poetry in the style of the two halves.
